Honoring Unaccompanied Service Members
at
Washington Crossing National Cemetery
The Unaccompanied Service ensures veterans without family or friends are given the respect, dignity, and honor they deserve in their final moments.
It may seem like a small gesture, but simply being present is anything but. Your presence demonstrates the community’s gratitude and provides veterans with the farewell they have earned!
Services are held on the last Thursday of each month from January through October, immediately following the 1:30 pm service.
We ask participants to line up behind the Admin building around 1:35 pm, and we will process as a group to the committal shelter.
